Ok, I told you I would try a couple of new recipes after I returned from the Grocery this morning and here there are!
These are the kinds of things you make, and they are fantastic at that time but you know they will be even better tasting later, or tomorrow. Setting and ‘resting’ together will blend the flavors even more.
I have never been a fan of mayo. Until 1985 I thought the famous Salad Dressing was mayo. That is what we called it at our house. I was making Miracle Whip Sandwiches as a kid, and had no idea they were not mayonnaise sandwiches….
Oh well, you live and you learn…. hopefully.
The reason I made this was because the No Egg Salad called for it, so I knew it would be required.
It is easy and all I needed was the silken tofu. It was $1.99 at Kroger. I had everything else.
It is pretty tasty on celery too!
But please remember, since I have gone WFPB, everything tastes great! Everything I try from recipes like these ‘official’ recipes are fantastic, and I always have 2nds and can’t wait to eat more! This is wonderful!
(OK, sometimes my ‘shooting from the hip’ created recipes from my spontaneous creativity are not real winners, but hey! we are learning, right?!)
There, I said it and you know I am being honest.
So we are down to the highlight of the day and that is the next recipe. Egg Salad with no egg.
I will tell you right off the start…. I had two for lunch.
This is too much fun!
Click the following link to get the recipe…
I am printing these and other favorite recipes and keeping them in a old fashion three ring binder…( see it in the first picture above?)
This way I can make notes and remember to do certain things the next time….
Plus when turmeric powder gets on the pages, it looks really authentic and ‘homey’. Hopefully my kids will appreciate that after I am gone, and they are using the cook book I am compiling…
Ok, so you clicked on the link ‘No-Egg Salad’ a few sentences above, right?
One of the changes I made was the part where it talks about using a blender with the first mixing of ingredients…. I changed that to the food processor.
Betty spend about $40 bucks for a Food Processor and I use it 50 times to one use of a blender.
It is easier to empty, clean and just easier all around!
Blenders are a pain. And no I do not have a ‘HIGH DOLLAR’ blender, so that may be the issue for my preference, but hey! I have heard that some people have placed a ‘bullet’ blender in relationships as deep as a marital status…. I am just not ready to go there yet…
( yea yea yea, I remember, I am learning ….)
So I only got one picture of an actual sandwich, but it ‘looked like’, ‘felt like’ and ‘tasted’ like a egg salad sandwich to me.
I had it on Ezekiel Low Sodium Bread
You will find these products in the freezer section of the store. This loaf was on sale for $4.99 today. Yeah, it ain’t cheap, but it is a healthier choice.
So, a happy day at oldmanskinandbones kitchen!
And as usual all I did was enjoy myself, and not count calories, nor measure protein, and certainly did NOT FEAR CARBS.

OH YEAH! one more thing….
Be careful when blending the mayo recipe, and don’t forget to put the lid back on after you stir it a bit….
